That's just an implementation detail, in aggregate the result is still consciousness. It's like saying animation isn't real because it's just a sequence of still images.

The implementation matters.

There could be something that [locally] rolls back time or creates brances to error correct conciousness.

[scoofy]

I'm not arguing that consciousness is and illusion. I'm only arguing that it is possible that it could be an illusion. It's probably not, and if it were, it wouldn't matter. I'm just saying it's possible.

[theendisney]

I doubt it makes a difference. If it exists it is real regardless of implementation.

It can only be considered fake if it is a replication of something else and is inferior.
